Awareness of
Needs
08/PPT/590/1002
Decision
Creating winning
propositions: How do we
align to the key buying criteria?
Guide to the Client Buying Cycle phases
Something has changed, e.g. legislation, technology, management. What
is the impact on what we deliver. Savings, cost reduction, efficiency gains,
protection, strategic market positioning etc.
What options does the client have? Do nothing maintain the status quo,
consult with us, consult with our competitors. Do we know what ranking
criteria is being used?
Assessment of
Alternatives
Alleviation of
Risk
Achievement of
Results
What are the risks of the alternatives? How can we help the client mitigate
them and work with us?
The decision is made and the contract awarded
Our mechanism for measuring the delivery/implementation of what we
promised during the Assessment of Needs phase. Did we deliver against our
promises and how can we measure that? What is the next opportunity?

Our Approach
9. Helping build better businesses
Identifying potential Pain and Gain questions
• Some generic example questions to use to engage the client are:
– How have these issues impacted your business?
– What are the critical success factors you expect from the service?
– What is most important to you for this project?
– What other impacts might this problem have on your business?
– What do you see as the benefits in solving the problem?
– For you personally what’s most important?
• Trusted Advisors ask tough question
• While Clients make buying decisions based on needs
• But, Clients also make decisions emotionally and back them up with
logic to justify their decisions
• So, we need to build urgency and trust with the Client to work with us
15
Our Approach
10. Helping build better businesses
Focus on the Keys:
• The key market knowledge (these
are the things that keep the target client
awake at night):
– 1. Key market drivers e.g.
Innovation, stability, change, monopoly
– 2. Key market indicators e.g.
Size, locations, mix of players
– 3. Key market trends e.g.
Growing, mature, contracting, stagnant
– 4. Key market players e.g. Who
are the main competitors/ innovators in
the target client’s market?
– 5. Key market shares e.g. Who
is growing, slowing, changing and by
how much?
• The key target knowledge (know your client
and be able to offer insight & value):
• Key facts: e.g. Name(s), locations, people,
contact details and addresses
• Key products and services: e.g. By location or
service segment, market share, trends by
service/ product line
• Key themes: e.g. Vision, values, purpose,
strategic goals
• Key differentiators: e.g. By product/ service
line, by people, by locations
• Key background: e.g. Current and previous
contracts by service line, value of those contracts
and duration expired/ remaining,
• Key people: decision makers, influencers
technical and allies, as well as blockers and
enemies
• Key character: e.g. Culture, decision making
process and degree of centralisation/
federalisation

13. Helping build better businesses
Price and the cost myth
Price is misunderstood by selling organisations, often to the benefit
of the client.
• What is ‘price’?
• How would you define it?
• Consider some examples of fair and unfair pricing, within and outside
of the IT Infrastructure, Storage and Services sector
